THANKSGIVING

■The First Thanksgiving was celebrated to give thanks to God for helping the pilgrims survive the brutal winter. That feast lasted three days providing enough food for 53 pilgrims and 90 Indians and the  menu featured turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie.
■U.S. President Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving Day a national holiday in 1863. However in 1941 President Franklin Roosevelt established the current date for observance, the fourth Thursday of November as Thanksgiving Day.

ACTIVITIES:
2.  Crossword
3.  Turkey Hands craft :
 Trace and  cut out the shape of your hand. Then  draw a turkey face on the thumb and add some feathers or colours on the rest of the fingers (the waddle is optional ! :-)).

Finally find  things that you are grateful for and write them  down in this way:

"I am thankful for my wonderful and intelligent daughter"   :-)
